FAQs
How does a tankless water heater give me endless hot showers?
Unlike traditional tanks that store a limited amount of hot water, a tankless—or on-demand—unit heats water only when you open a tap. Cold water flows through a high-efficiency heat exchanger powered by gas or electricity, and within seconds it exits the unit at the set temperature. Because water is heated as it passes through, you never run out, so your family can enjoy back-to-back showers without waiting for a tank to recover.
What size tankless system do I need for my La Follette home?
The correct size depends on two factors: (1) your home’s peak hot-water demand in gallons per minute (GPM) and (2) the temperature rise required, which in La Follette is typically 55–60 °F from winter ground-water temperatures. An average three-bathroom home with simultaneous shower and laundry use usually needs a 9–10 GPM gas unit or a 7–8 GPM electric unit. During our free in-home estimate we measure fixture flow rates, discuss usage patterns, and recommend a model that meets your exact demand so you always have hot water without overspending on capacity.
Will a tankless water heater lower my utility bills?
Yes. Because it eliminates standby heat loss—energy wasted keeping 40–80 gallons of water hot 24/7—a tankless heater can cut water-heating costs by 20–40 %. ENERGY STAR® estimates savings of about $95 a year for the average household. Gas models reach efficiencies up to 98 % with condensing technology, while modern electric units use smart modulation to draw only the wattage required. Over a 20-year lifespan, those savings often offset the higher upfront cost.
How long does installation take and what’s involved?
Most residential installs in the La Follette area are completed in a single day. We start by disconnecting and hauling away your old tank, then mount the tankless unit on a wall—usually in the same utility space to keep piping changes minimal. We upsize the gas line or run new 240-V wiring if needed, add stainless-steel venting (for gas units), install isolation valves and a condensate drain, and set the digital controller. Finally, we flush the lines, test for leaks, and show you how to adjust temperature and maintenance settings.
Does a tankless water heater require maintenance?
Yes, but it’s simple. Manufacturers recommend flushing the heat exchanger with a vinegar solution once a year to remove mineral scale, especially in areas with hard water like Campbell County. We offer an affordable annual service that includes descaling, cleaning the inlet filter, checking the burner or heating elements, and updating firmware on newer smart models. Regular maintenance preserves efficiency, prevents error codes, and keeps the warranty valid—many units are covered for 12–15 years when serviced annually.
Is a tankless unit suitable for La Follette’s water conditions?
Absolutely, provided it’s installed with the right accessories. La Follette’s water is moderately hard, which can lead to scale buildup. We install a pre-filter and, when hardness exceeds 7 grains per gallon, a compact scale-inhibitor cartridge or whole-home softener to protect the heat exchanger. The result is reliable, high-efficiency performance and longer equipment life, even in challenging water conditions.
